Not sure what you to read next?? Maybe one of your neighbors could help!

Our fourth installment features a selection from Lisa Bales a Ferndale resident for seven years (and who works in production with The Talent Shop). We became acquainted with Lisa last year when we started collaborating with her husband, Robert, who co-founded a metro-area culture/events app called LocalHop. (More on LocalHop at the bottom of this page; it’s a really cool app we use to let folks know about library events…)

Behind Closed Doors, by B.A. Paris, is a perfect example of how you never know what goes on between couples when they are in the privacy of their home. The plot is dark. It’s about as sick and twisted as it gets. Yet somehow, you just want to keep reading.

Jack & Grace Angel, the two main characters with completely opposite intentions, share similar traits: patient, determined and most of all, calculating. When the mentally-ill sister of Grace becomes the pawn to Jack’s sadistic game, Grace will stop at nothing to protect her. In fact, she’s proof that no matter how devastating the situation may seem, there is always a way out.
